Garth Brooks is prepared to lip-synch his ACM Awards performance

You can bet we'll be on the lookout for lip-synching country singers at Sunday's Academy of Country Music Awards at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. (At last year's awards show, Rascal Flatts admitted the band didn't sing live because the lead singer lost his voice.)

Garth Brooks is worried he may join the club this year, he said during a recent interview on Sirius XM channel The Highway. He is performing five nights in Portland this week, then travels to North Texas for the awards show. His voice might be shot.

"Just in case we have to lip-synch, we taped a performance that was solely made for the awards show," said Brooks, according to tasteofcountry.com.
